| dc.description.abstract | This thesis grows out of a preoccupation with : (a) the status of religious lan~uage and (b) the status of foreign and contrary doctrines to those of th~ writer's culture. Prejudices which informed the writer's approach to his subject were : (a) that people do have what may be called religious experience, that religious language is interpretative of that experience and can be adequate as providing a means to communicate about it; and (b) that foreign doctrines, while false perhaps absurd to non-participants in a culture, can be considered adequate to the expression of what goes into experience in that culture and should therefore be considered true in their own terms . | |
